The function cryptocompare.get_coin_list(format=False) is returning no response, the response is : Error getting coin information. Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0) was working totally fine till yesterday but started getting error today. ss

Hi @anshumannandan, thanks for raising this issue. It seems that the CryptoCompare API started blocking requests of this nature recently. This is what I'm seeing:

This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks. The action you just performed triggered the security solution. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data.

Have you tried it with an API key? That might work.

anshumannandan commented 1 year ago

I'm already using an API key and all the functions except this one are working absolutely fine with the same key.

Hm, okay. I'm not actively maintaining this library anymore, but I'll try to take a look if I find time. I also found out, that get_exchanges didn't work. Thanks for reporting.

I am also facing the same problem. I have made a python project on live prices of cryptocurrencies and I have to present it the day after tomorrow. So I would be very grateful If you fix it by today. It's showing the same error for live prices also. I tried by both using Api and without API

It seems they are blocking some user agents for certain endpoints. As a workaround, you can get a list of the coins with the following:

curl -H 'User-Agent: HTTPie/3.2.1' https://www.cryptocompare.com/api/data/coinlist | jq '.Data | keys'

Both the functions have started to work again.
